I am a young person, Registered Professional Planner, homeowner and helped vote in this government. Premier Ford said in 2018 that he would not touch the greenbelt. This plan sets a terrible precedent and is shortsighted. While I recognize that there is a legitimate housing crisis - a crisis I know firsthand - this is not the solution. This flips the conventional system of planning in Ontario on its head. In 30 years when we have a similar problem, we can't keep redrawing the boundaries. This will cause widespread speculation in other areas now that lands that are 'permanently protected' could be up for development.
I urge you to reverse on this incredibly shortsighted move. Please.
